But, I also got an eMachine (read: piece of crap) with 192 MB RAM 400MHz Celeron, and a 4GB Hard drive.While it should load Xubuntu, I got some very strange errors trying to load the LiveCD.Same with all the other Debian based distros (I tried Knoppix, Dreamlinux, and Xubuntu)I had to install MEPIS (only thing I had at the time), but it's a bit too heavy. I can't figure out how to decrease the KDE effects either.

Although I don;t have it here at home, I did have an old Pro-Tech with these specs.132MHz Processor, 16MB RAM, and a 1 GB Hard drive. After failing miserably to install DSL via Poorman's (it wouldn't boot from CD)Also, it had a rather weird screen color. I totally destroyed it anyways, so I'm gonna have to try getting an OS that fits on a floppy.

On a lighter note, just before I left, I managed to install DSL on another Pro-Tech Machine, which seemed slightly newer (or just had better specs).132MHz Processor32MB RAM1.5GB Hard drive

I was succesfully able to install DSL on this one, however, it took me three tries (GRUB wasn't working, so I had to use LILO)

Well, that makes, uhm...5/7 of my Computers now have Linux.And I'm getting two more (maybe three, but don't count on it) tomorrow.

It has a 350MHz Processor, and a whole whopping 30M RAM. Not even enough to install DSL on.But I made it.It was a hassle, but I did it.DSL's very fast on this thing once installed though.Pics tomorrow.
